Fendlera Rupicola

From LoveToKnow Garden

Fendlera Rupicola - A beautiful shrub allied to Philadelphus, reaching a height of 12 feet in its own land, but rarely much over 4 feet high with us. Coming from dry, rocky places of Texas and Colorado, it is hardy only in the warmer parts of Britain, and does best against a wall in light fertile soil and in a sunny aspect. The neat grey leaves are nearly like those of a Rock Rose, while the charming pure white flowers, composed of petals set like a Maltese cross, are fragrant and appear in June. Plants are sometimes found in which the flowers have a faint rosy flush. Increase by seeds, which ripen in September, or soft cuttings rooted under glass.

I garden in North wales and have a special interest in the hydrangeaceae. I have been trying to source seeds of Fendlera and Whiplea species. If anyone can help please let me know.
